I may have deleted some of my apcupsd.conf file from my flash drive

. oups. didn't like leaf pad.Does anyone have a clean copy? To replace existing.

Just wanted to turn off alarm beep. thx in advance. Running unraid6.1.9.

I will try replacing the bzimage tonight.

The only place I see a file for that on my flash is at config\plugins\dynamix.apcupsd\dynamix.apcupsd.cfg and of course that one has my settings in it, but that isn't really the apcupsd.conf. That file is actually in /etc/apcupsd, which is in RAM, and would be unpacked from bzroot by a reboot. Why do you think you deleted it? Did you actually delete it from bzroot somehow?

 

I often open bzroot in 7-zip to examine its contents. The file you are asking for is in bzroot at \bzroot~\etc\apcupsd\apcupsd.conf.

 

I question whether you have correctly diagnosed your problem though.

Rebooted server and file is ok. must have messed it up in ram drive.

Is There a way to add a config for the alarm state in the flash/config/plugins/dynamix.apcupsd file? like( BEEPSTATE="N")

See the online manual linked on the UPS Settings page.

looks like i will need APC software on a windows machine to change the setting on the APC unit.

You must not have read the manual as I advised. BEEPSTATE is there along with a lot of other things.

How do you add it  to the config file.or is it something that needs added to the go file some how.

My linux command line skills are mostly copy and past.

This looks like the right way to do it edit .flash/config/plugins/dynamix.apcupsd file? add line ( BEEPSTATE="N")

Do i need to reboot? For new config. to take affect?

From what I saw in the manual that looks like the proper place.  Just be sure that you use an editor that recognizes that this is a Linux file so it uses the proper line endings.  (I use EditPad Lite.) 

 

From what I read, a restart is necessary to make any change happen.  But I would think if you make a minor change to the UPS Settings in the GUI and 'applied' it, that would cause a restart of the .conf file.

Figured it out. Beepstate is programmed in the APC EEPROM.

Shut down apscpsd. log in with Putty and ran "apctest"

Changed setting from there. think it was option 6.

Beep be gone.  :-)
